Randle and the Wildcats fell to a veteran Michigan State Spartans team, led by senior guard Keith Appling (17 PPG, 7 RPG, 6 APG). Parker and Wiggins engaged in the Battle of the Future (as in the NBA's future) with Kansas topping Duke. College basketball has had gradually fewer headliners over the last 20 years in large part due to the best players going to the NBA after a year or less of college basketball experience. The NCAA got it right by putting the prime merchandise on display at the start of the year so that the customers (us) can get hooked in as early as possible and for as long as possible. Nice move....
Of course, ESPN's college basketball programming would not be complete without Dick Vitale. The iconic color commentator and former University of Detroit basketball coach can bring energy to the intake room at a funeral home. He didn't need a lot of help getting fired up last night. In fact, as he often does, he gets a little carried away, already putting Wiggins in the Basketball Hall of Fame in Springfield, Massachusetts.
Today's retweet, by Gustavo Fring (@tonedibiase) is vintage Dick:
"Did Dick V say no doubt about it Wiggins will go to the HOF?!? GTFOH"

| Maybe Dickie V. was using Mr. Fring's product (for you Breaking Bad fans). Like Wiggins, Vitale seemed a little high! |
